Well, Bailey, what do you think?

About?

"About"? Tuck!

Bailey, we've been doin' crunches, workin' on his abs.

- Me! - Baby!

You got your first little ab!

Right? Isn't she pretty?

- Almost as pretty as my cake. - Why does it just say "Chloe"?

Today she finds out if she got the lead in the school play

and I'm waitin' to write "Congratulations"

or "Don't worry, the sun don't shine on the same dog's tail all the time."

Let's pray she won. 'cause I only got one tube of icing.

Guess who got the lead in the school play?

I got it! I got it! I got it!

Guess who didn't get it?

Savannah! Savannah! Savannah!

Chloe, I'm happy you got the part, but that is not how a winner behaves.

A true winner wins with grace and humility.

Bailey, I just got a call from Rocky Top Records.

Guess who's a top five finalist in their big Nobody competition?

- Who? - You!

What? I made the top five? I'm a top-five Nobody?

Soon to be the biggest nobody of all time!

I can't believe it! This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me.

Thank you, Lord. I don't know why I deserve it, but I'm so grateful.

See, Chloe? That is how a winner behaves when they win.

Guess who didn't make it. Boone!

Poor Boone.

I made it! Boone didn't! I made it! Boone didn't!

I made it! Boone didn't!

What happened to "win with grace?"

Up top, Bailey!

Yeah, Bailey!

- What are we celebratin'? - I got the lead in the school play!

You did? That is great news, honey!

And Bailey aced her Rocky Top audition,

which means she gets to perform for the head of the label!

And Boone doesn't.

That's huge, Bailey. Congratulations.

How about I take everybody out to dinner?

- Celebrate, any place y'all want. - Tootsies!

Tootsies?

What am I thinkin'?

I can't go celebratin' this news at the bar Boone sings at every night…

dressed like this.

It's comforting to be reminded that this is where you spent nine years of your life

preparin' to care of my children.

Isn't it invigoratin'?

- I got my ab into shape just in time. - It's fun bein' eye candy, isn't it?

Daddy, how come you're eatin' so much?

Daddy's just a little frustrated.

Summer put us on a little break. You gonna eat the rest of those fries?

Why did Summer put you on a little break?

Well, we're havin' a…

A little issue.

What kind of little issue?

Bailey?

The issue is your daddy wants to keep goin' on playdates with Summer,

but Summer's decided not to share her toys with him anymore.

There's Boone, Bailey. Tell him you're in the top five right before he performs!

With any luck, we won't have to hear him sing!

I'm going. Somebody record this so I can relive it over and over again.

Ladies and gentlemen, The Boone Calhoun Band!

Go! Go, go!

I... I can't go. I missed the window. It's closed.

Look. Isn't that the girl half your age who replaced you?

Window open.

Thanks, y'all. Ladies and...

Bailey?

Hey, y'all remember Bailey Hart?

It is meant to be that you're here tonight.

- 'Cause I got big news to share. - I've got bigger news!

- If you don't mind, this is important. - Mine is, too.

- This is about Paisley. - This is about Bailey.

I'm sorry, Bailey, but this is a really big deal.

This afternoon, Paisley told me she's leaving the band.

Well, I... What?

Dibs.

That's right, y'all.

Paisley's gonna be singin' backup for the Maren Morris tour.

She leaves for LA tonight.

I'm very happy for you. Anyway, what I'd like...

I'm happy for her, too. I mean, I'm sad for me, but…

I'm fine.

I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just…

Truth be told, the last few days have just been emotionally draining for me.

Me, too. Highs and lows. Mostly highs.

Me, mostly lows.

I was this close to bein' the opening act for Keith Urban.

Not close enough.

A few hours ago, I found out that I didn't…

I didn't make the Rocky Top competition.

Do it now, Bailey.

Been a hell of a week.

Things will get better.

Yeah.

Well, here's my big news.

After 20 years of tryin' to make it, it's time for me to face facts.

It's time for ol' Boone Calhoun to give up on his dream.

- What? - That's right.

Tonight is my last gig here in Nashville.

I'm headin' back to Georgia to work for my daddy's septic tank company.

Wait, you're givin' up on your dream, Boone?

You gotta know when to fold 'em, right?

So, what's your news?

This really isn't the time or the place.

Bailey was chosen as one of the Rocky Top top five!

Yeah!

- Bailey, that's incredible. - Yeah, it's pretty great.

No, you are gonna crush it!

Not… without you by my side.

What?

What do you say we get the old band back together?

- What? - What?

Well, that took an unexpected turn.

I mean, the record labels are lookin' for America's next sweetheart,

not America's next sweetheart and Boone.

What about her heart? She worked so hard to get over him,

and now she's sittin' with him playin' footsies at Tootsies.

Enough, y'all. Stay out of it.

- But Daddy... - But Cassidy, it's Bailey's life.

She is a grown woman, she can make her own decisions.

I need chips and salsa.

Daddy, you don't really think

that Bailey and Boone are just gonna sing together?

Did you see the way she looked into his eyes?

He does have some smokin' eyes.

Those tattoos.

Maybe I should get some.

I certainly have the real estate.

Okay, no.

And "smokin' eyes"?

Daddy, do you not remember what a mess Bailey was when she got here?

- Pitiful. - Gorgeous.

This is gonna be worse.

She's just pourin' salt on a wound that hasn't healed.

All right, look, kids, I know y'all love Bailey

and ya'll mean well, but butt out!

We have any Cheez Whiz?

But Daddy, you always say when one of us gets in trouble,

we all gotta get involved.

Look, that rule is only for our family.

You do not get involved in other people's lives.

But Daddy, I'm worried about Bailey.

Tuck, maybe we should go back to that bar and get her.

You know, everyone saw you wink.

Seriously, do we have Cheez Whiz?

You know that's cake, not Janet Leigh.

- What? - From Psycho.

No?

- You don't remember her in the shower? - I took one. It didn't help.

Okay. I'm gettin' why you couldn't sleep.

You think Summer's having trouble sleepin'?

You think she's up eatin' and agonizin' about not being with me?

- You think she misses me? - Why don't you text her and find out?

No. If I text her, she'll know I'm eatin' and agonizin' about not bein' with her and

that I miss her.

Hold, hold, hold…

What's up, Summer?

No, it's my phone. It's Boone makin' sure I got home okay.

So, what do you think about me and Boone getting back together?

Now, look, Bailey, this family makes it a practice

never to get involved in someone else's personal life.

Even though that someone else had no problem divin' into mine.

I pushed you to be honest about the kids with Summer 'cause I want you to be happy.

It worked great.

Yeah. I'm sorry I got involved.

Even though Cassidy droppin' the bomb about how it's a sin to have

premarital relations is what pushed it over the edge.

I mean, I like havin' a church-goin' girlfriend,

but why all of a sudden is she a church-goin' girlfriend?

Isn't the toothpaste already out of the tube?

So, you do wanna talk about it.

No.

But you can.

So, I'm thinkin' this whole "church-goin'" situation

isn't so much about church as it is about…

Well, Costco.

You know how when you're shopping, they hit you up with free samples

in hopes that you'll buy the whole supersized box?

I think maybe Summer stopped givin' ya free samples

in hopes that you might buy the whole box.

Get what I'm throwin' out there?

I hope not.

It sounds to me like what you're sayin' is Summer's tryin' to manipulate me.

What? No! I didn't use that word. That's an ugly word.

- What else is it? - She did it in hopes that you...

- "Buy the whole box!" That's manipulation. - You keep sayin' that word I never said.

That's what she's doin'. Just like what Boone did to you.

- Geez, talk about manipulation. - What?

He played you like a fiddle tonight.

Lookin' at you with those puppy dog eyes,

tellin' you he can't take any more bad luck,

so he's givin' up his dream and workin' in his daddy's septic tank business.

Well, how's that manipulatin' me?

He knew you made the Rocky Top finals and he didn't,

and he played on your heartstrings in hopes you'd let him back in the band.

He only knew I made the finals 'cause I told him.

Really? Did you know who made it to the finals before you got to Tootsies?

Yes.

No. Beau, no way. 'Cause if Boone really did know,

that'd mean he said those things to take advantage of my generosity,

which he knows is one of my finest qualities,

which means he would have told me he was givin' up on his lifetime dream,

knowin', with my big heart, I'd feel so bad for him

I'd… offer him to come…

back in my band.

He manipulated me!

Bailey! Finally!

Listen, before the kids get here,

I just wanna say I was wrong to get involved in your life.

- But you were right. - I was right, but wrong to get involved.

I did what I told the kids not to do, and I shouldn't have done it.

- So please just don't tell 'em I did. - Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with me. Now, how do I look?

I mean, do I look good enough to make Boone feel horrible

when I tell him he's out of my band and my life?

It's a good dumpin' outfit.

With all due respect, you might wanna change for your confrontation.

No, I'm not goin' to Summer's. That's exactly what she wants.

- I have a different plan. - Is your plan better than mine?

I'm just gonna take a break from her.

We'll just see who can hold out longer for those little samples.

Good luck, Bailey. See you in a few hours. Goin' for a run to burn some frustration.

- A few hours? Where are you runnin'? - Bermuda.

Look how cute she looks.

- What? - Nothin'.

Not my place to tell you what I think. But I can tell Chloe.

What is goin' on in this girl's head that she's gettin' back with Boone?

I'm not back with Boone.

I was talkin' to Chloe, but since you brought it up,

where were you all night?

- And don't tell my daddy I'm askin'. - I was actually down here with your da...

"Cake." All night, just me and a cake.

That would explain those tight jeans.

Which I'm wearin'

‘cause I want Boone to eat his heart out when I give him the boot.

What?

Boone thinks he's comin' here to rehearse, but it's gonna be a real short rehearsal

when I tell him he's out of my band and my life.

I knew you'd come to your senses, B.

What happened? I mean, the way you were droolin' over him…

Well, that was before I realized he was manipulating me

by makin' up that stuff just to get back in my band.

I told you those smokin' eyes are dangerous.

I gotta get to the barn before Boone does. I wanna place myself under the skylight

so I'm dramatically lit when I say goodbye.

Wait! Bailey...

- What? Does my butt look fat? - No. No.

You look like the solo superstar you are! You didn't sign anything with him, did ya?

Course not.

My client is smart and beautiful.

Aw, stop bein' sweet. I gotta stay mad.

Your hair looks flat

and those jeans aren't doing you any favors.

- Really? - Just trying to keep you mad.

Really?

Hey, darlin'. Sorry I'm late. I had to go get all this stuff.

- Where's your fiddle? - You know I don't play the fiddle.

Then where'd you learn to play me like one?

What?

You manipulated me.

What're you...

Wasn't it just so convenient

the night I came to Tootsies to rub it in your face

that I made the top five and you didn't,

and all of a sudden you're givin' up your dreams

and goin' into your daddy's sewer business?

Septic business.

And Bailey, why would I make up quittin'

the thing I love in my life more than anything besides you?

You loved me, did ya? Is that why you hooked up with Paisley,

a younger, perhaps not even as talented, but I'm sure very sweet, girl?

- Bailey, Paisley and I never hooked up. - Please. I am onto you!

- Wow. - No, you "wow"!

Bailey,

look here, I will never forgive myself for treating you the way I did.

And honestly, as grateful as I am to be playin' with you again,

I will walk away right now

to prove to you that my intentions were honorable.

Fine! Walk!

I will.

I'll do anything to have you not lookin' at me that way now.

Good!

How am I lookin' at you?

You're disappointed in me, which breaks my heart.

Well, you broke mine first.

Bailey, whether you believe me or not,

lettin' you go was the biggest mistake I ever made.

I hope someday you'll find it in your heart to forgive me.

I won't.

Maybe I will.

Someday.

Right, well…

that would mean the world to me.

Maybe today.

Bailey…

Boone, I'm sorry. It's just what happened with us,

and then seeing you again, and then thinking you were manipulatin' me,

and then seein' you again.

- Are you kiddin' me? - What the...

What are you doing up there?

You were way too worried about how your butt looked in your jeans.

I knew you were fixin' to cave.

I wasn't fixin' to cave. It was a surprise cave.

'Cause he's so good.

Trust me, Bailey. He dumped you once, he'll do it again.

Hey, I love her.

So you said.

I do.

Prove it. If you really love her, you'll walk away right now

and stop makin' her life miserable.

One more thing! Please don't tell Daddy I got involved.

Just as I suspected.

She fell right back into the fiddler's arms!

How do you know?

Guessin'.

Cassidy, did you get involved when I specifically told you not to?

No.

- That was none of your business, Cassidy. - Maybe.

This is my life, Cassidy!

I know, and I'm sorry, Daddy.

You told us not to get involved unless it's family.

- And Bailey's family. I won't stand by... - Cassidy, enough.

She kissed him!

What? You didn't sign anything, did ya?

I knew it. It's those darn eyes.

Exactly. I looked into those darn eyes and I knew he was tellin' me the truth.

He was.

Well, he was!

Not that it matters now, ‘cause you told him if he loved me, he'd walk away.

And he did!

Ha!

Who walks away if they really love you?

- Cassidy, you've said enough. - Daddy, this is a good thing.

Well, if it's such a good thing,

why do I feel so bad?

What… What are you doin'?

Kelly Clarkson!

Don't you remember?

The day you first came here, when ya caused me to have a breakdown

and run out to the barn in the middle of a tornado?

These are the exact words you yelled at me to make me feel stronger.

Kelly's words!

I do value Kelly's words.

That's because Kelly is strong, which is what you are.

No, I'm not. I'm not strong like Kelly.

You are for us.

Who's there every time we need Bailey?

- Bailey! - Bailey!

And who tells us to always have self-respect

and not put up with people who don't respect us?

Bailey?

Yes! Bailey.

When did I say that?

That's not important. The point is why can't you follow your own advice?

Because my heart keeps gettin' in the way of my head.

That's because it's too big.

- My head? - Your heart.

I'm so sorry you're broken tonight, Bailey.

She didn't mean to hurt ya. She was tryin' to keep ya from gettin' hurt.

That's Cassidy.

The meaner she is, the more she loves you.

You must really love me.

I do.

I love you more!

- Boone is such a fool. - No.

I'm a fool.

- You are no fool, Bailey. - Nope!

Beau, you were right.

What do you mean that Beau was right?

She's in distress. Don't listen to her.

Did someone get involved in Bailey's life when he specifically told us not to?

She's family.

And since you are family, Bailey, I have an obligation to get involved.

You deserve to be with someone who doesn't make you cry all the time.

Are there any men out there that are like that?

Yes, sir. She will be there. Bye.

Y'all, that was Tootsies.

Their headliner got the flu. They're askin' if Bailey can fill in.

Well, I can't. No way.

Yes way! We can test some stuff before your competition.

I agree. We gotta get Bailey to that bar.

I can't go to that bar with all those pretty girls objectifying me…

dressed like this.

This may be makin' her feel better, but for me, big buzzkill.

- What's he doin' here? - Just provin' us right.

He was never quittin' this place or "his dream."

Bailey, I didn't lie to you.

And I did not manipulate you.

The only reason I walked away is 'cause

the last thing in the world I'd do is do something that makes you sad.

So I started packin' for Georgia. And yeah,

for the record, I really was goin' to Georgia.

But then I thought to myself, "What am I doing?

I love her."

So I called Tootsies and I said, "You gotta get her down here right now."

Why would you do that?

Bailey Hart…

Will you marry me?
